The Home Screen in ShadowGPS is where everything begins. Whether you're tracking one car or managing an entire fleet, this is your live, real-time dashboard for visibility and control.
Let’s take a quick tour of what you’ll find here.
Map + Device Cards = Full Control
The central feature is the map, showing the real-time location of your devices. Each device also has its own card at the bottom of the screen.
Swipe through the cards to switch between devices—whichever card is active, that device's pin will be highlighted on the map.
If multiple devices are at the same location, and you've enabled the “Other Devices” option in the map filter, you’ll see them grouped together.
Tap on any pin to instantly switch the active card and bring that device’s details into focus.
Map Controls & Filters
On the top-right, you’ll find tools to customize your map view:
Map Layers: Choose between Road, Satellite, or Hybrid views.
Map Filters: Toggle the visibility of geofences, other devices, your phone’s location, and more.
Just below, a set of compact icons gives you additional map tools. Here's a quick preview:
Reposition icon: Keeps the map following your selected device (active by default).
Multi-device view: Lets you see all devices' locations at once—great for fleet tracking.
Directions to vehicle: Instantly get walking directions from your current phone location to your car. Perfect for crowded parking lots.
Collapse & Expand Device Cards
Need a better view of the map? Use the collapse/expand toggle just above the device cards. Expand it for details, or collapse it when you're all about the map view.
What’s Next?
Each icon and device card has even more functionality under the hood, like setting alerts, sharing access, and viewing trip summaries.
We’ll cover those in dedicated articles so you can make the most of every feature.
In short, the Home Screen is your real-time cockpit.
Fast, flexible, and built for action—so you can stay connected to your vehicles anytime, anywhere.
